I remember Uncle Don by Sim Carpenter I Uncle Don was young at heart until he died. Zest for life. More like an older brother than an Uncle from my folks generation. I remember him milking cows in the barn and singing cowboy type songs. ie Red River Valley. Boy could he whistle also. He drove a milk truck into town with milk for the creamery and would stop off at our house for coffee. One day another boy from our neighborhood and I got in the truck and started it up and since it was left in gear it started chugalug down the street towards a stop signed intersection where some degree of traffic moved. Someone else saw what was happening and got Uncle Don on the run to stop us baefore we got to the intersection. We all were so scared but he counseled us in understanding terms before we had to go back and face our parents. I remember the night that he got burned out and showed up at our house for shelter. I remember coming home from the army after discharge and being met by him at the train depot in Minneapolis. Staying overnight with him before going up to Hibbing by bus. We were in our present house in Delaware just a few months when he and Aunt Bernice showed up in a station wagon that they used as a camper. They were on a sight seeing tour of the East coast. Unfortunately that was the last time I saw him (1965)
